The 87-year-old pontiff was asked on Swiss TV about whether Ukraine should surrender to Russia’s invasion

Pope Francis has urged parties in the Ukraine warto “negotiate before things get worse”, in an interview published Saturday by Swiss television.
The 87-year-old pontiff was asked by the public broadcaster RTS about a debate within Ukraine on whether to surrender to Russia’s invasion, or if that would only legitimise the power of force.
“I believe that the strongest are those who see the situation, think about the people, and have the courage to raise the white flag and negotiate,” he said in the interview, conducted in early February.
Speaking about war in general, including the Hamas-Israel war, he added: “Negotiations are never a surrender. It is the courage not to carry a country to suicide.”
“That word negotiate is a brave word. When you see that you are defeated, that things are not working out, to have the courage to negotiate,” he said.
The head of the worldwide Catholic Church said people might be ashamed but asked how many lives were being lost.
“Today, for example with the war in Ukraine, there are many who want to act as mediators. Turkey for example,” he said.
“Don’t be ashamed to negotiate before things get worse.”
War is made by two, not one’
His comments came as Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed again that he could host a summit between Ukraine and Russia to end the war.
Mr Erdogan made the fresh offer after a meeting in Istanbul with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.
Mr Zelensky has said while he wants peace he will not give up any territory. The Ukrainian leader’s own peace plan calls for the withdrawal of Russian troops from all of Ukraine and the restoration of its state borders.
The Kremlin has ruled out engaging in peace talks on terms set by Kyiv.
A spokesman for Mr Zelensky did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Pope’s remarks.
Francis was also asked about the Israel-Hamas war, where he laid blame on both sides.
“War is made by two, not one. The irresponsible ones are these two who wage war,” he told the broadcaster.
This Tankie Pope has created a new definition for the word “pontification.” From now on it will mean offensive, insulting, ignorant lies and bullshit.
Czechia and Poland are Catholic countries. I can’t see that many of them will buy this Pope’s evil snake oil.
But he has a big support base in shit countries in Central and South America. His homeland has just elected a non-Tankie president for the first time in its rotten history. In other words, the Argies have defied him. So politics are definitely involved. Brazil, ruled by a scum-sucking Tankie, will buy into his crud. And we must remember that America’s closest southern neighbour; Mexico, is an openly putlerite shithole. No doubt Mexicans will be passing on their shit views to relatives in the north.
All this Pope kremkrapp is being excreted at a time when new Argie president Javier Melei is trying to build support for Ukraine in his back yard.
The utter moral bankruptcy of Tankie ideology is revealed in the glib statement:
“Francis was also asked about the Israel-Hamas war, where he laid blame on both sides.
“War is made by two, not one. The irresponsible ones are these two who wage war,” he told the broadcaster.”
He conveniently forgets the beheading, rape, torture and mass murder inflicted on Israel’s 9/11 last year that was remarkably similar in savagery and evil to what the putinaZis have been inflicting on Ukrainians for two years.
Ukraine has had to bear the equivalent of more than one hundred 9/11’s from nazi RuZZia.
Maybe someone should organize a women’s peace conference between the two countries – as the UN Resolution 1325 suggests. I read about this recently in a LinkedIn post of Franz Jedlicka (a peace researcher). Julya
Ukrainian women have been murdered by the invaders in industrial quantities. Those who survived putinaZi occupation were found to have been repeatedly raped, tortured, thieved from and beaten by savages.
We know also from intercepted phone calls that the wives of Russian “soldiers” (in parentheses because real soldiers don’t behave like degenerates) actually encourage their husbands to rape Ukrainian women. They actually think it’s funny.
Would YOU be willing to negotiate with such people?
“You cannot negotiate with someone who has come to kill you.”

Yana Rudenko on LinkedIn has commented on this Pope:
“It sounds like a victim blaming to me – ‘𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠’
🚩It is a red flag for me 🚩
Is it an 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐞?
I feel shame before God because of a world in which the Pope asks a nation, 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞, to surrender.
The country that was 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝, where thousands of children have been 𝐚𝐛𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, countless individuals are 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞, and cases of 𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐬 aged from 4 to 80 years old
In the territories 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫, there are hundreds of 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬.
Why is 🇺🇦#Ukraine the one being asked to surrender and cede territories, to cease its resistance, and to disarm?
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐔𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟖 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬.
Occupation is not peace; it is the silent 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞.
In March 2022, I remarked that it seemed as though God had abandoned Ukraine. Evidently, divine intervention through the Pope is not forthcoming.”
#StandWithUkraine
Clearly, this old man is talking out of his stupid ass. He should concentrate on finding and prosecuting all the child molester priests in the Catholic Church, instead of getting involved with things that he has no inkling of.
From a purely technical and hypothetical point of view, how are you going to “negotiate” with these psychos?
“The phone of a captured Russian who wrote a list of things to try in the war:”
1) Taste human flesh;
2) Torture a prisoner of war (preferably make him cry and beg for mercy, but do not spare and kill him slowly and horribly. For example, bury him alive or cut him with a chainsaw);
3) Rape or kill an ENEMY girl. The best way to do this is with the whole company.
4) Take trophies from the houses of killed enemies to home for good luck! And for memory!
5) If possible, personally participate in the execution of all prisoners of war. And ideally – drown them in ice holes, stab them with a bayonet, or burn entire families, along with their houses.”
Like a white-washed tomb full of dead men’s bones.
